HeroGrown provides hope and tangible help for millions of veterans and first responders who want to use cannabis to kick addiction to prescription painkillers and other drugs.

Army veteran and former law enforcement officer Roger Martin founded HeroGrown (formerly Grow For Vets) on Memorial Day 2014. The nonprofit provides much-needed cannabis-related resources to veterans of the Armed Forces and everyday heroes, like firefighters and police officers.

#AskBoveda (Instagram) (36:25) Does Boveda absorb terpenes? No. Boveda absorbs only water vapor. Boveda is 2-way humidity control for cannabis. Boveda acts as a desiccant and humidicant. This means Boveda pulls moisture away from flower as well as adds moisture to flower to maintain an optimal relative humidity level that helps cannabis hold on to its terpenes.
